The Perfect Tiny House Design

Includes a Charming Front Porch

Can you imagine a tiny house design that also includes a really cute front porch?

The Jordan family - Debra, Gary and their son - used to live in a 2000+ square foot home with an acre and a half of land.
But Gary lost his job and the couple found themselves working 4 jobs just to meet their mortgage.

They remembered back to when they lived in South America and lived in tiny homes.
They liked the idea of living with less in order to have peace of mind - and no mortgage.

So They Decided to Build a Tiny Home

"I don't know that Dave and I would enjoy living in such a tiny home, but we found it fun that they included a darling small front porch
in their home design. Goes to show that even a 10 foot wide home can have an inviting small porch."

Summary of the Video

After losing a job and then working 4 jobs between them - to pay their mortgage - Gary and Debra
decided to live more simply

They found a builder on Craig's list who builds tiny house floor plans. So about $15,000 later, they had their own tiny house - all 320 square feet.

Their 320 square foot home (and their front porch) is 10 feet wide

Their home plus the small building beside them (used for their home business) cost about $20,000

Their home is paid for - so no mortgage

They rent the piece of land that their house sits on - for about $145 a month

Their home has full-sized kitchen appliances.

The ceilings are tall - which helps to give their home a more spacious feeling.

They can comfortably sleep 6 - 8 people in their tiny home design.

Their son's room is a loft above the living room. He is home schooled.

The family shares one dresser and each person has 1 drawer for their clothes, plus a sock drawer that is shared.

They have a walk-in closet.

They cannot walk past each other without touching or bumping into each other, but they like the closeness of that.

Debra and Gary make their living by sewing baby gifts and selling
them on Etsy (minkeebabygifts). Their workplace is a small building next door to their home.
